Calling all Harfielders

Join us Saturday 20June at 2pm

We NEED YOUR HELP to plant 5 biggish trees, into pre-dug holes, in Purley Park.

We would especially love some young strong dads! - the holes will be done, but we need to lift the trees and place them in the holes. We will be planting some lovely Mohagany trees, kindly donated by Kate Mason.

These trees will grow large and eventually be the replacement trees for some stage in the future when the gum trees, have aged to the extent when they will need to be removed.

We will be providing coffee and muffins for helpers. Bring your kids down and share in the greening of Harfield.

The HVA and Friends of Parks are working on a plan to install a permanent cement table tennis table in Hampstead Park. This is work in progress.

Residents would be required to use their own bats and balls BUT the table would be permanent (see photos below).

To test the concept PingOut are kindly letting the HVA use their wooden table in Hampstead Park on the 23rd, 24th and 25th of October.

Please come down to the park, bring your own bats and ball (just in case the ones supplied are not available).

Meet your neighbours and have some fun !

Kind regards

Dear Friends of Harfield Parks

Princes Park beds are looking rather overgrown and really in need of some Tender Loving Care. We invite you to come and help us give TLC on Sunday the 25th from 9a.m.!!!

We would also like to extend the bed … so we’re looking for :

· Hardy indigineous plants

· Compost

· Manure

· Pavers

Friends of Harfield Parks will provide egg rolls, coffee and a laugh!

Then when you’ve gardened a bitand want a break, you can wander down to Hampstead Park and have a game of ping-pong on the test table!

Please bring drinking water, hat, sunscreenand gardening tools.

If you’re unable to come and help personally a donation towards hiring labour would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,

The FOHP Team - Ingrid, Gail, Caroline, Francine, Tina and Christine

DATE: 21 November 2015

TIME: 09:00

PLACE: Purley Park, Harfield Village

BRING: Sunblock and a hat, friends and family and a picnic basket.

There is not a lot of hard work to do in this lovely park but it could really use some colourful flowers and loads of compost and a good cleanup and startup of the nursery and the young trees could use some care. Bring your picnic basket and kids and come and have some gardening fun.
